I have been trying to compile ports.  I have written to Greg Lehey
(trying to use his CFBSD) and Walnut Creek with out result.  I've tried
doing this creating sym-links.  I've tried this according the handbook
(p25), Complete FREBSD (p96),  and  his ever growing errata since the
book was wrong.

I get the same error everytime.
As an example; xinvaders

make install (from the xinvaders directory)

/usr/ports/distfiles//xinvaders.tar.gz is a broken symlink
Perhaps a file system (most likely CD) isn't mounted?
Please correct problem.
Error code 1

The only way I can install anything is by using pkg_add from the
packages directory.

Thank you.
